The Christmas Spirit Will Look Different in Warsaw This Year With No Parade

The Douro-Dummer Santa Claus Parade committee has announced that the Christmas spirit is coming to Warsaw in a different way this year.

While traditionally they would host a parade and tree lighting ceremony, this year they will be handing out Christmas treat bags.

Bags will be handed out at the Township office at 894 South St. in Warsaw on Nov. 27 between 5 and 6 p.m.

Those participating should stop at the curb by the front door and stay in their vehicle, where a Christmas helper will deliver the treats.

If participants are walking they can go to the door to get their treats.

In 2019, the committee made a request for donations of mitts, hats and scarves, which resulted in a great outpouring of support from the community. These donations were then split between Warsaw Public School and St. Joseph’s Catholic Elementary School.

This year the committee is asking for donations again. Hand made items or purchased items can be brought to the Township office until Dec. 10 (please put them in a plastic bag). They will be sorted and taken to the schools when classes return in early January.
